all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, EDWARD K. Borrns, residing at Niagara Falls, in thecounty of Niagara and State of New York, have in- Vented certain new anduseful Improvements in Man: olding-Peds, '01? which the following is a"full, clear, and exact descriptioa uch as will enable oihers skilled inthe e which it npperieiris to make and use the some.

This inveniion relates to menifolding; pads and the like.

"One of the objects thereof is to provide a practical device of theabove nature in which lo' lhe parts are readily and quickly manipulated,and are held in compact and prop erly disposed relation.

Another ohje to pro-vile simple and efiicient means or s curing upon a'0 holder.

Qther objects will be ill pars-obvious and in part pointed hereizmjter.v The invention accordingly consists in the features of construciiomcomhiheiions oi? elements and err will be exemplified i1 inefier set forcation of: Wh' lowii claims.

Referring now to the accompanying drawing, there is shown a cover orholder 1 girovided with a metallic member comprising the upright stop orabutment 2 and a fist teat or lug 3, preferably formed integraltherewith. This metallic member is rigidly secured to the holder 1 andforms in effect a part thereof.

It may here be noted that the term holder as used throughout thisrile-scrip tion and in the following claims compre heuds not merely anouter cover of the form herein shown but any device used in con junctionwith the leaves of a pad to cover or protect the some or, afford a backtherefor -i'or Writing purposes. i

The pad herein shown comprises al plurality or" original and duplicateleaves and 5 all. connected end lo end as ale; 3; weakened lines 6 and7, and'hsving secured thereto as at 8 a transfer Oil any approved iypc.All of the leaves oil: che

pad are perforated or slit; es e l0, and through. these registeringslits is forc d teat ilfwhich securely holds the pad in olece' by itsfrictional engagement therewith; on maintains the upper end oi the padageins the mtmenti as best shown in. the drawings. I

The leaves of the pad, and in fact the parts of theentire device, are held moreover vin their proper relation, and form a,compact, practical sales book as distinguished from the ineflicient andinvertebrate constructions i heretofore in use.

As many changes could be made in the above construction and manyapparently widely different embodiments of thls invention could be madewithout departing from the scope thereof, it is intended that all mattercontained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawingsshall be interpreted illustrative and. not in a limiting sense.

' Having described my invention, What it claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is 1. In a device of the class described, incombination, a holder, a metallic member rigidly secured to said holderand provided with an abutment presenting a plane surface and a tintprojection, saidfiat projection being spaced from said abutment andlying in a plane substantially parallel to the plane surface of theabutment, and a pad formed of a plurality of superimposed leavesconnected. to one another along weakened lines, one end thereof beingprovided with reg istcr jeci 11g slits through which said flat pronextends, registering slits extending substantially parallel with the endof tance substantially equal to the distance that the flat projection isspaced from the abutnient whereby when the pad is in position with saidfiat projectionextending throu h said registering slits said end of thepad will rest against said abutment.

2. In a device of the class described, in combination, a holder, ametallic member rigidly secured to said holder and comprising anabutment provided with a planeabutting surface, an integral flatprojection, said fiat projection being spaced from said abutment andlying in a plane substantially pa 'allel to the lane of said abuttingsurface, and a pa formed of a plurality of superimposed leaves connectedto-one another along weakened lines, one end thereof being provided withregistering slits through iihich said flatprojection extends, saidregistering slits extending substantially parallel with the end of thepad and being spaced therefrom a distance substantially equal to thedistance that the projection is spaced from said abutting surface,whereby when the pad is in. position with said projection extendingthrough said registering slits, said end of the pad will rest againstsaid abutting surface.
